MeIenite.-A new compound has been
invented by French chemist which Is said
to possess powers Of destruction In almost
incredible excess over any other explosive
agent hitherto manufactured. The new ex-
plosive has been named 'melenite," and in
its touch and appearance resembles yellow
clay Picrate Of potassium aad dynamite
upon their advent seemed to have reached
the limits Of sudden destruction by fire; but
neither, 1t is said, can be compared 10 effect
with mclente when employed for similar
purposes; while gun-cotton, nitro glycerne
and panclastite-also the invention of a
Freechman-must likewise yield the palm
Of humiliation to the new explosive. Mele.
mite has been definitely adopted by the
French government for military use, and
especially for charging shells.

Peared denying the allegations referred To,
SO far as he was concerned as a commission
merchant
AS the Washington Market Company is
charged with regulating the space referred
to, and used under an act of Congress as u

other coarse and bulky articles, it would
seem 10 be the duty of the Market Compl-
ny to investigate these public complaints
and denials.
In order, therefore, TO remove any just
cause OF complaint which farmers or others
having the right TO sell products on these
grounds may have against any persons in
charge Of the grounds, the weigh-master OF
any commission merchants transacting the
business there, the Market Company will
apsoint IL special committee to take charge
OF and thoroughly investigate any specific
charges, made in writing and filed with the
clerk Of the Market Company, of misman-
agement or any unwarranted Interference
In any way between sellers and buyers who
have occasion to transact business upon

SuperHuous Duties.

From Good Housekeeping.
womans instinct of cleanliness IS so strong that
she will actually squander time in unnecessary
work, just as squirrel in a cage will store up nuts
by force of his instinct of accumulation If some
housekeeiers had double the time lat their di posal
That they now have, yet they would manage to oc-
cupy it with superiuous duties. But this is going
farther than any semblanee of q reason can at
tempt to excuse. There is no sense IN working
like this.
woman can be q good housekeeper without
taking all her time to do Homework. If size can
not, let her after III be satisfied to be ord lily
good one and take some of the time from her pre-
Yiously selfimposed drudgery for reading, ed c.
pscn of her children, selfimprovement and tor
recreation. There is no reason why long pro-
gramme of work should be laid out for every day,
nor why it should be carried through at all haz-
ards. If each hour of the day is arranged for some
kind of work, one hour at least ought to be set
apart for recreation and that hour of all others
ought to be rigidly observed.
These housekeepecs who are facing so much
superiiuous work every day never think Of such a
thing is reading a daily newspaper or gathering
information that will enable them to improve the
quality of their work. They do not know what is
taking place in the world, of which they are so
small part. They like to listen to other peoples
tales | u never think of informing themselves by
reading or observation The children ask her ques-
tiCns that anyone would be supposed to be able to
answer, and are sent to somebodyGelse for reply,
or put off with no satisfaction at all. They soon
come to the conclusion that mother isn't supposed
to know anything outside of housekeeping.
The reader has seen the more agreeable house
wife who is not always furnishing up something
and yet has house 50 clean that no sense detects
anything unclean--the housewife who is a compan-
ionable sort Of person. st least fairly well informed
regarding the events of the day well her spec
ial daily duties and who finds time to get out of
that everlasting grind of work that extingushes q
manifestation of those womanly and motherly in
stincts that may make her an adorable wife and
no her if they are not laid aside for that perpetual
cleaning and multiplying Of work that make every
one uncomfortable at home. Such housewife is
by no q rarity, and her opposite the one who
squandeis time in superhuous duties ought to cul-
tiyate her acquaintance.

The EcIinso in Iinssia.


From an Exchange .
When Professor Mendelaief was descending
IN his military balloon Moscow after observing
the recent eclipse, several peasants ran out Of the
village Of OderkoR with guns TO shoot "the evil
beast that had darkened tine face Of the SUM-"
There was general fear among the Russian peas
antry that the world is coming to On end. This idea
was strengthened by the curious coincidence that
on Sunday preceding the eclipse the gospel appoint
cd to be read in the churches happened to be tho
9th chapter of Matthew, in which occurred the
prediction that the shall be dars ened aud tho
stars shall fall from the heavens Ten days after
the eclipses in the province OF Perm there was n
remarkable fall Of aerolites. One piece of the me-
torc stone weighed about a quarter Of ton, and
caused an Garth shock in It's fall like an earth
quake.

WRITTEN FOR THE CONSTITUTION
! saw a streamlet eoursing
Through a dark and lonely way
The shuddering trees leaned over
The skies were duh and gray!
But it laughed an l leapt as gaily
AS in the summer day
When the flowers grew upon its banks,
And the light wind were at play
The path that lives before me
Leads through dark and lonely way,
The summer flowers have faded
Chill and dreary is the day.
Yet may not my heart, as the brooklet,
Leap upward, and onward, all day?
For the God, of all times and places,
He standeth within the dark wayl
